In today’s Kiss at Base C ride, riders, including myself, report that we are not seeing all the chats. While there might be some logic behind what is missing and what is seen, it appeared a bit random to me. It was clear I was missing parts of the conversation from certain riders but a few minutes …

That one was a ninja edit to the opening post of Game Update - March 16th, 2021

Group chat remains broken. @Eric can you advise us your best guess when this is going to be fixed? I am a regular among two of the largest Zwift rider groups in your service and the amount of grief this is causing is not insignificant.

Hi Tony — I think you’re referring to all participants in events not being able to see ALL of the messages? By design, we keep the messages to the folks around you with the exception of the ride leaders / sweepers (which was fixed recently). Now if the question is whether we plan to open up ALL mess…

Hi Eric. Thanks for responding on this. Just to confirm I was the lead sweep yesterday and couldn’t see all the messages. It looked like the leader was talking to himself. This is needed when trying to understand who genuinely needs help back to main group. Group rides only work if all participants …

@Eric Hi Eric, unfortunately the chat is still not working according to the fixed description you gave. As I mentioned early in this thread (about a week ago): “I did an Ascenders ride this morning and was right next to someone who was clearly responding to chat messages that I never saw — so I wa…

Plus we see run event messages inside ride events and they are not limited by range. Having an option to see all messages inside club events would be most welcome and would still allow Fondo’s to have this disabled.

I can confirm this. BMTR Saturday century rides sometimes go through the Watopia desert; on those rides we can hear the runners. By now we can recognize a number of their leaders. We greet them like old friends, but sadly they cannot hear us. :man_shrugging:

Thanks for the update, @Eric . To answer your question: Given the difficulties with chat currently, I think all messages to everyone is the way to go right now. It is a good default, and should always remain available as an option for event organizers if it’s possible to do the selection on a per-e…

By design, we keep the messages to the folks around you with the exception of the ride leaders / sweepers (which was fixed recently). Just to be clear, this is not the observed behavior of chat prior to the TDZ changes that introduced the bug. As someone who rode mid-pack, let’s say position 250…
